TME #24: ‘Grief Selfportrait’, Armelle Swan MFA

Armelle Swan is a Sydney based artist specialising in painting. She has a BFA (Hons I) and MFA from Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney. Formerly an emergency nurse, she gave up that career in the ‘90s to focus on her art; however, she considers her experiences in that role were seminal for later thinking and making. So, she brings to bear scholarly interests, such as the nexus of art and health in notions of visual thinking, brain, mind and neurology, to any making.
